It should mess them up, don't know why not... maybe not in the beginning or the waits are short enough but most importantly intro triggers are not preserved, so the problem is not reocurring.

How do I use a DC to loop music?

check out Falkoners Google Page for info on deathcounts I cant count on music looping to be there but you should have a place with 2 locations and blank terrain (no loc)1 should be on/other is off [TRIGGER] [DESCRIPTION]DC Music Loop[/DESCRIPTION] [PLAYERS] [*]Any unused computer player [/PLAYERS] [CONDITIONS] [*]player 1 brings X unit to X location [/CONDITIONS] [ACTIONS] [*]Set deathcount for X player to 1 [*]Move X unit at X location to the middle of the switch [*]Preserve Trigger [/ACTIONS] [/TRIGGER] [TRIGGER] null[PLAYERS] [*]Any player [/PLAYERS] [CONDITIONS] [*]Death Counts for X player is 1 [/CONDITIONS] [ACTIONS] [*]Play .wav file for X player [*]Preserve Trigger [/ACTIONS] [/TRIGGER] then if the player brings the unit to off set deathcounts back to 0 so it doesnt play is that how it works?(use DC's as switches?)

I don't understand what cheeze does there, but the easiest you can do is these 2 triggers: (You will need only 1 location for the on/off switch and 1 DC for the delay to play the wav) When the player moves the civ out of location 'Music on' the current music loop plays until its end and won't start again as long as the player keeps the civ out of the location.

Thanks for the help. It worked. However, I'd like to know how you calculated 1613 for future reference.

Lenght of the wav in seconds * 11.8. 1 realtime second has 11.8 dc counts.
